@achewood There are only five Wodehouse books on my special Wodehouse shelf?! As Jeeves himself might ask, "Where in the fuck are the rest of them."

Usually with other real estate agents.  At least, that's what happened in American Beauty.

The two questions I've always wanted to ask are:  Why are real estate agents so enamored of putting their own faces on everything--ads, business cards, trucks, etc.?  And why do they insist on calling them "homes" when they're the only ones who do so?  The rest of us say "I just bought a house."

Actually, they sell like.

Like but not well-like.

I have a crush on a local real-estate agent. I'm sure she is a nice lady who would never do what John Tomino did.

"Don't do what John Tomino does" is a basic tenet all should follow.

I really don't see how this is any different than Willy Wonka, whom everyone loves and adores. Realtor tapes his business card to a chocolate bar as an advertisement. Crazy man in purple hat stuffs a gold ticket in his chocolate bar wrapping as a marketing ploy. Same deal.

Also, Willy Wonka is offering a giant prize with those golden tickets.

If one of those candy bars actually, like, won a house?

I would be 67% less offended.

Obviously I am being facetious about the Willy Wonka thing, but the point remains: we are always, always the victims of some type of marketing.

I had just finished listening to 222 when I read this strip, so I ended up imagining Téodor delivering the verbal beatdown in Patton Oswalt's voice.

Well yeah, but I don't see any way of avoiding that sort of thing in a world where goods and services are offered. I don't know about you, but I sure do love me some goods and services.

Our landlord has been attempting to sell the house we live in for five and a half months now. As far as I'm concerned, all real estate agents can boil in a bucket of gypsy shit.

I sign the helpful realtors in my mailbox up for the 'make money in real estate' seminars that are also in my mailbox.  I figure I'm connecting two markets and helping society grow.
